"Unprecedented demand for Polycom's IP-based collaboration solution drove us to well over the $1 billion revenue run-rate for the first time in Q4," said Robert Hagerty, chairman and CEO. "Video collaboration has clearly emerged as a top priority due to its immediate cost savings benefits and rapid return on investment. At the same time, Polycom's HD quality, telepresence, and 'plug and play' IP connectivity are delivering an amazing customer experience. Polycom's leading HD video and voice over IP solutions are enabling this growth for our company worldwide."
Hagerty continued, "Our strategic partnerships with Avaya, Nortel, Cisco, and others are adding fuel to our business opportunities. In fact, revenues from our new VoIP relationship with Microsoft that we launched in October and our recent voice launch with 3COM provide yet another engine for revenue growth in 2008. These meaningful partnerships, coupled with strong execution from our sales and service teams, are driving increased traction and expansion on a global basis."
"2008 promises to be an exciting year for Polycom. Our HD video, voice, and content collaboration solutions solve real business problems across a broad range of industries. Adopting our solution yields fast returns and increases a customer's agility and cohesiveness-and facilitates 'greener' corporate policies-yet another critical driver in many geographies. The employees and partners of Polycom are ready to fulfill the growing demand of this market."
"We delivered strong operating results in the fourth quarter, including record revenues of $263.3 million and $55.8 million in operating cash flow," said Michael Kourey, senior vice president, finance and administration, and CFO. "In concert with these operating results, backlog and deferred revenues also grew to record levels. During the fourth quarter, we purchased $50 million in Polycom stock, exiting the quarter with a remaining $140 million authorization under the current share repurchase program."
